In celebration of Healthy Heart Week at Montessori Otumoetai we focussed on teaching children about healthy heart. Discussions around the heart anatomy, how it works, how to keep it healthy with good choices of food and lot of excercise making our week fun and interesting.

We wrapped up the week with the making of a fresh and healthy pizza with lot of vegetables. The tomato base for the pizza was made from the tomatoes and herbs from our garden which the children have been looking after. A lot of time andeffort was put by our tamariki to make the pizza.

Great to see our community at work using their practical life skills and social skills of turn taking and patience. Older children helping the younger ones to be involved by directing and supporting them was very heart warming. The scrumptious pizza was enjoyed at afternoon tea.
